- Added some compile-time error checking. Will add more in future
pushes to ensure settings are correct and within parameters that won't
break anything.
- Pushed some master branch changes with MEGA pin settings.
- Cleaned up planner code and comments to clarify some of the new
changes. Still much to do here.
- Cleaned up the new stepper code. May need to abstract some of the
segment buffer more to fix the feed holds (and integrate homing into
the main stepper routine). With what's planned, this should make the
stepper algorithm easier to attach other types of processes to it,
where it is now tightly integrated with the planner buffer and nothing
else.
- Returned the max step rate to 30kHz. The new arc algorithm works uses
so much less CPU overhead, because the segments are longer, that the
planner has no problem computing through them.
- Fixed an issue with the acceleration independence scaling. Should now
work with accelerations above 400mm/sec^2 or so.
- Updated README
NOTE: This push is a work-in-progress and there are known bugs that
need to be fixed, like homing acceleration being incompatible. Released
for testing. Settings will definitely be overwritten, as new settings
were needed.
- Acceleration independence installed in planner. Each axis can now
have different accelerations and Grbl will maximize the accelerations
depending on the direction its moving. Very useful for users like on
the ShapeOko with vastly different Z-axis properties.
- More planner optimizations and re-factoring. Slightly improved some
of the older calculations, but new acceleration calculations offset
these improvements. Overall no change in processing speed.
- Removed planner nominal length checks. It was arguable whether or not
this improved planner efficiency, especially in the worst case scenario
of arcs.
- Updated readme and changed to markdown format.
